Roxanne Christensen (or is it son? sorry, Rox!) in Philadelphia is
well-versed here; she ran/managed/whatever just such an enterprise for the
Philly Water Department.
You should be able to find her easily; if not, get back to me and I'll
dig her info out...

Subject: [Community_garden] Precedents for Public Urban Farm needed
Hi -- I'm proposing a large-scale public urban farm for a public park site
and need examples of agriculture incorporated into public space, perhaps
managed by something like a park agency. I am looking for something more
heavily managed than a community garden, but more public than a private
farm, and my preference would be that the food would not be grown for
charity -- but be part of a functional food system. The issue is -- how
do
you prioritize food distribution when being produced on public land? I
would love to see several different management structure-precedents. I
hope
not a tall order. Our site is several hundred acres, and I will not be
able
to convince anyone of the feasibility if it hasn't been done elsewhere in
any form!
